1st RND: 16 sc in ring, sl st in first sc made.

2nd RND: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip 1 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in first sc.

3rd RND: Sc in same place as sl st, * 2 sc in next sp, ch 4, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st in first sc.

4th to 20th RNDS: * Sc in next sc and in each remaining sc of sc group, 2 sc in next sp, ch 4, skip first sc of next sc group. Repeat from * around (20 sc in each sc group on last rnd). Join as before.

21st RND: * Sc in next 18 sc, ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4, skip next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

22nd RND: * Sc in next 16 sc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, skip next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

23rd to 29th RNDS incl: Continue in this manner, having 2 sc less in each sc group and 1 loop more between sc groups on each rnd until 2 sc remain in each sc group on 29th rnd, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc.

30th to 36th RNDS incl: * Ch 5, sc in next loop. repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc of previous rnd.

37th RND: Ch 3, 4 dc in loop just formed, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 3, 5 dc in next loop. repeat from * around, ending with ch 3. s; st in top of starting chain.

38th RND: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 3, skip next loop, sc in next loop, sc in next 5 dc, sc in next loop, ch 3, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join.

39th RND: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next 5 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 3, skip 1 sc of next sc group, sc in next 5 sc, ch 3, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join.

40th RND: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next 7 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 4 , skip 1 sc of next sc group, sc in next 3 sc, ch 4, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join.

41st RND: Ch 5, skip next dc, dc in next dc, (ch 2, skip next dc, dc in next dc) 4 times; * ch 5, skip 1 sc of next sc group, sc in next sc, ch 5, dc in next dc, (ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc) 5 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in 3rd ch of starting ch-5.

42nd RND: Sl st in next sp, ch 4, (to count as tr), holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make 2 tr in same place as sl st, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), * ch 5, make a 3-tr cluster in next ch-2 sp. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to tip of first cluster.

43rd RND: Sl st in next 2 ch, sc in same sp, * ch 9, sc in 6th ch from hook, ch 4, sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join and break off. Starch lightly and press.
